Best Gifts for Beer Lovers

We all have that one friend who is constantly making a new batch of homebrew or talking about new craft beer breweries. Beer lovers come in all shapes and sizes — from the Coors Light aficionados to the craft brewmasters but they all have one thing in common: they’ve likely received a lot of beer merch over the years. When shopping for your favorite beer lover, skip the mass-market at-home brewing kits and beer cap wall art and get them something unique.

Here, we’ve curated some of the coolest (and actually useful) gifts that any beer lover would appreciate — from unique wall art to one-of-a-kind bottle openers.

Beer from scratch

The Homebrewer’s Almanac

If your shopping for a homebrewing beer lover, pick up a copy of The Homebrewer’s Almanac. This handy, natural guide will help take their beer making to the next level by outlining exactly how to make beer from scratch using local ingredients rather than using a pre-made kit. Even those who don’t brew their own beer will get a kick out of this forage-friendly, survivalist style of brewing.

Pretzel Bottle Opener

Bottle openers don’t have to be boring or inherently sterile and this quirky Anthropologie x Nordstrom number is proof of that. Great for the friend who takes great pride in their bar cart, this golden pretzel bottle opener is equal parts practical and cute.

Stainless Steel Beer Bottle Cooler

Let’s be real for a second here: nobody likes a room temperature beer. This stainless steel beer cooler solves that problem entirely. The vacuum insulated cooler can keep beer chilled for up to four hours, which is great for everything from parties to picnics. It also comes with a built-in bottle opener for added convenience.

Fizzics Beer Dispenser

Ideal for man caves, home bars, she-sheds, and everything in between, the Fizzics Beer Dispenser takes any type of beer and turns it into a nitro style pour within seconds — this means their brew will be transformed into uniform sized bubbles called micro-foam, which creates a rich and creamy head and enhances the overall flavor of the beer.

Spiegelau Craft Beer Tasting Kit

Every beer lover should have the right barware for their brews and it’s not about the aesthetics, either — different types of beer need to aerate differently based on their make. If your favorite beer lover is using a standard pint glass for every type of brew, this set from Spiegelau is a great jumping off point to expand their collection and enhance their drinking experience.

National Geographic Atlas of Beer

Travelers will especially appreciate this comprehensive guide to beer around the world. If they’ve ever mentioned beer tourism or a particular interest in imported brews, this is the guide for them. This carefully researched National Geographic coffee table book is a gorgeous gift for travelers and beer drinkers alike.

Ankole Horn Bottle Opener

One of the most unique items on the list, the akole (a domesticated cattle breed) horn bottle opener was crafted by African artisans in Kampala, Uganda using leftover akole byproducts. Each ethically-sourced, sustainable opener is one-of-a-kind, as each akole horn is of course, completely unique.

The Beer Review Log Book

Beer nerds will absolutely adore this handsome beer review log book. If your beer loving pal is particularly into being an amateur critic, there’s no better way to help foster their hobby than with a book to put their thoughts down on paper. The writing prompts throughout the book make it easy for anyone to let their inner writer flourish.

Oliver Gal ‘Press for Beer’ Canvas

Gone are the days of tacky, literal beer wall art. Help them decorate their home bar or dining space with a tasteful yet playful canvas wall hanging from Oliver Gal. The ‘Press for Beer’ piece is mounted onto a sustainably harvested, FSC-certified wood frame and is available in various sizes to suit their space.
